FEATURED TRIP

Bell mountain (8 miles)

If you use a shuttle, this is the best day hike in the region. The view from Bell's peak is stunning. Hiking north-to-south makes for an easier trip. Continue to trip.

HIKE-AND-FLOAT

Courtois (12 1/2 mile)

A 12 1/2 mile hike on the upper Courtois section through the rolling hardwood forests of Huzzah CA and MTNF, a peaceful night camping, and a nice float back to your car. What more could you ask for! Continue to trip.

How do I get to trailheads on long winding roads? How far can I travel in a day or weekend? Where do I camp? How do I get back to my car? To help answer these questions and get started, Build a Trip with our custom calculator and we will help you sort through the many options.
If you are looking for the most detailed and up-to-date Maps of the Ozark Trail System, you found them. We will even tell you exactly which ones you need for each trip.
It can be difficult to do a longer hike with one vehicle. No worries! We may have a Shuttle Option that fits your needs.

WE SUGGEST YOUR TRIP SHOULD BE:

- Default Miles per Day at a Moderate Activity Level are: Hiking-10, Biking-15, Equestrian-12
- Moderate is the default 100% Activity Level. Easy is 70% and Strenuous is 130% of Moderate.
- The Total Miles Range is calculated as 80% and 120% of Calculated Total Miles. The Range can be adjusted manually to whatever you want.
